Confetti game strong with Sharni and Michael
“Our story is one of love, flowers and friendship”
When a florist gets together with all of her amazing floral friends you know the Wedding is going to be magic! Sharni and Michael’s Hawkes Bay was exactly that. An intimate industrial setting with the most incredible floral installation, all beautifully captured by David Le Photography.
It all started with a story of love, flowers and friendship …
When Sharni was sixteen-years-old she volunteered at a local floral boutique where she met, and became fast friends, with Toni. It was through this friendship that she was introduced to Toni’s brother Michael. First impressions; this man was handsome and quiet – which made him a little mysterious.
Fast forward some years – in a gondola gliding through the Venetian canals – Michael popped the question. When the couple planned their wedding at The Old Mill in Napier, flowers were always going to be a major, symbolic part of their ceremony. Lush, oversized bespoke floral pieces were the only decor for the wedding. An army of florists, including Sharni, came together to bring the vision to life.
